Up for sale, a 2020 Gibson Custom Shop 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard V2 in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original Lifton-style hardshell case, CoA, and all hangtags. This limited edition Historic model is stunningly accurate to vintage spec, based on genuine 1960 examples scanned and studied by the Gibson Custom Shop team, featuring double-ring Kluson Deluxe tuning machines, reflector cap knobs, a SilmTaper ‘60s C neck profile, and a gloss Tomato Soup Burst nitro lacquer VOS finish.
Weighing only 8lbs 6oz, tonewoods include a lightweight (non-weight relieved) mahogany body, flitch-matched two-piece flame maple top (hide glue fit), one-piece mahogany neck, and bound rosewood fretboard. This Les Paul is loaded with CustomBucker PAFs, Gibson's latest and one of their most highly praised PAF iterations. Featuring Alnico III magnets, these low-medium output pickups have plenty of chirp, honk, and bloom. These PAFs are dynamic, highly detailed, balanced, and comfortably versatile with any playing style. The bridge has bite and growl, while the neck pickup has the girth and woody cut one expects. This Custom Shop Historic 1960 Les Paul Standard V2 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Tomato Soup Burst VOS nitro lacquer finish highlights the broad, dimensional flame figuring in the flitch-matched maple top, and cosmetic wear is limited to a few tiny nicks along the lower bout perimeter (back edge). The finish is otherwise extremely clean, and the smooth VOS nitro gloss on the neck profile is flawless, with limited aniline dye bleed along the binding.
The original Lifton-style hardshell case is included, along with the CoA and all hangtags.
